The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) performs an automated search for moving objects within the solar system. The International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) educational program allows high school students to work with recent Pan-STARRS images to make their own discoveries of unknown asteroids. In this talk, I will present results and implications from almost seven years of the project and its unique approach to bring young minds in touch with real scientific data and analysis methods.
